Updated: There has been another round of content removal from Disney+, this time in the Emea region, which consists of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. More than 120 titles have been taken off this week, primarily Disney Channel original movies and vintage Disney live-action films, as well as a few series, including Zeke and Luther, Pepper Ann, So Random and the first three seasons of Nat Geo’s Genius and ESPN/Nat Geo docs.

Dano stars in his film As Certain as Death, which he also scripted, alongside his Zombeavers co-star Cortney Palm, who was also in Disappearance with him and Guy Wilson, his Den Brother co-star David Lambert, and his Zeke and Luther co-star Daniel Curtis Lee,...

Disney Channel will move on with their made-for-tv movie "Den Brother" starring Hutch Dano ("Zeke and Luther," G Hannelius, Vicki Lewis, Debra Mooney, Kelsey Chow, David Lambert and Maurice Godin. "Den Brother" tells of a self-centered teen hockey star (Hutch Dano) who is suspended from his team. He must then serve as the substitute leader for his younger sister's Bumble Bee scouting troop. Will show on Disney Channel On Demand from August 6th before making its Disney Channel debut on August 13th. Mike Horowitz wrote the story, Jim Krieg penned the teleplay and Mark Taylor ("Hooking Up") directed. Filming took place in Salt Lake City.

Premiering on August 13, Disney Channel's Original Movie "Den Brother" has released the first trailer. Starring Hutch Dano, "Brother" follows Alex Pearson who is suspended from the hockey team and ends up as the Bumble Bee Troop leader for his sister's troop.

When he ruins his chances of making it onto the All Star Team by getting suspended for showboating during a game, Alex's disappointed father, Professor Pearson, makes him repent for his wrongdoing by delegating him to babysit his younger sister Emily and assigning him overdue chores. However, Alex isn't that upset because he gets Emily and the other girls in the troop to do his chores in exchange for merit badges. In addition, in his new troop leader role, he can get close to Matisse Burrows who leads another Bumble Bee Troop.

Joining Dano in the ensemble are G. Hannelius as his little sister and Kelsey Chow as his love interest Matisse.
